Lars Møllers bog er en velunderbygget analyse af soldaters lyst - eller nærmere "ulyst" - til at slå ihjel. Men bogens titel til trods handler den om meget mere end det, hvilket gør den så meget mere interessant. "Vi slår ihjel og lever med det" bygger på en større spørgeskemaanalyse, som Møller har foretaget blandt danske soldater, der har været udsendt i international tjeneste. Hvad der er mindst lige så interessant ved bogen, er imidlertid den indgående gennemgang af, hvad der sker ved et menneskets kognitive funktioner under ekstrem stress. F.eks. i en kamphandling.

For hundreds of years, Palmyra’s wealth was a testament to its greatness, and its leaders displayed their political acumen by playing the middleman between the powerful Roman and Parthian Empires. As a result, the Palmyrenes built an eclectic culture that was as sophisticated as any of their contemporaries, but eventually the leadership of Palmyra overestimated their power and the greatness of their city quickly came crumbling down. One of the most significant females in late antiquity was Zenobia, who for just a few short years in the late 3rd century CE ruled the wealthy Palmyra.

Tolstoy çağını çok iyi gözlemleyen bir yazardır. Aristokrat sınıfın amaçsız, debdebeli yaşantısını yoğun olarak eleştirmiştir. Uzun bir süre seyahat etmiş, tabiatı ve insanı incelemiştir.

Tolstoy’un kendini arayış serüveni ölünceye kadar sürmüştür.
